Miami Hurricanes at Clemson Tigers
· NCAA Men's Basketball
Carter Welling scores 18 as No. 22 Clemson wins its ninth straight with a 69-59 victory over Miami
The Tigers (16-3, 6-0 ACC) are one of two undefeated teams in league play after ending the Hurricanes' (15-3, 4-1) 10-game win streak.
Clemson did it on defense, holding Miami to its lowest point total this season. The Tigers had a season-high 11 steals and held the Hurricanes' Malik Reneau, who came in averaging 20.4 points, to just 11. Reneau played only 21 minutes before fouling out with 7:05 remaining.
Clemson came out ready for the early showdown, taking an 8-0 lead with two 3s from Welling. When Miami scratched back to 15-12, the Tigers and Welling took off on a 16-6 surge to open a 10-point lead.
The Tigers were ahead 53-38 on RJ Godfrey's basket when Miami made a last push, cutting the deficit to eight points on Shelton Henderson's foul shots.
But Porter followed with a basket and Dillon Hunter hit the next two shots, including a 3-pointer, to restore Clemson's large lead.
Miami could not respond after that.
Welling, who played at Utah Valley last season, also led Clemson with nine rebounds.
Henderson finished with 22 points to lead the Hurricanes, who previous low in scoring came in a 72-62 loss to BYU.
The Tigers entered the national rankings for the first time this week and are likely to move up after defeating Boston College and the Hurricanes this week.
Clemson: Finishes a three-game homestand against N.C. State on Tuesday night.
